Reacting to You

This is a slow burn romance between two queer neurodivergent geeks. Ari and Bea meet and bond through their YouTube reactor channels. Along the way they react to and discuss their favorite sci-fi and fantasy shows, do some collaborative videos, and attend a con together, all the while dealing with work and family and other relationships, sharing so much of their lives with each other, all the while being adorably oblivious to their deepening feelings throughout.
